Thank you for your answer. I tried: exiftool "-FileName<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y%m%d%H%M%.%%e *.mts and got: Warning: [minor] The ExtractEmbedded option may find more tags in the video data - 0001.MTS Warning: New file name is empty - 0001.MTS which is exactly what I got previously with %e instead of %%e. I tried: exiftool "-FileName<DateTimeOriginal" -ee2 -d %Y%m%d%H%M%.%%e *.mts and got: Warning: New file name is empty - 0001.MTS When I try: exiftool -p "${createdate#;DateFmt('%Y-%m-%d_%H%M%S')}"...

I am trying to extract and parse dates from .mts files, in order to rename files. The usual "-FileName<DateTimeOriginal" -d %Y%m%d%H%M%.%e works well with .jpg (and other file types too), but I found that it fails on my Sony .mts files. Using -DateTimeOriginal, I found that in these .mts files, dates are formatted this way: 2026:01:06 10:59:27+02:00 DST. I guess the +02:00 DST is what exiftool does not understand. Is there a way to help exiftool?

Just reporting, unfortunately, that John Doe's sugestoins failed (apart from physicalliy removing the sound card, which I can't do because my computer is a laptop). So I uninstalled EqualizerAPO and all the software/drivers I had installed to try to solve the issue. Thank you John Doe for trying to help me.

This post is just to report that after unsuccessfully trying all the suggestions from https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/wiki/Documentation/#troubleshooting and those here, https://sourceforge.net/p/equalizerapo/discussion/general/thread/44cf67fd/?limit=25 , I decided to unistall Equalizer APO.
